“Anchistrocheles? angulata (Brady), 1870
Bairdia angulata Brady, 1870, p. 199, pl. 27: figs. 11, 12.—Brady, 1880, p. 59, pl. 11: fig. 5a-d.
Anchistrocheles?, new species, of Triebel, 1960, pl. 20, fig. 44a-b.
MATERIAL—A single juvenile right valve from RM1004, George Sound, New Zealand.
A single juvenile collected living at Eltanin station 740.
DIMENSIONS—Juvenile right valve USNM 121635, length 0.51 mm, height 0.29 mm.
DISTRIBUTION—Described originally from the Straits of Magellan; a very similar form was reported by Triebel (1960) from Bass Strait.
AFFINITIES—The Eltanin specimen is smaller than the lectotype-designate (Brady, 1870) but otherwise similar to it. The New Zealand specimen is very much smaller and relatively more elongate.
The assignment to Anchistrocheles is based on the compressed carapace and bythocyprid scar. Eventually another generic category may be desirable to accommodate this species, A. aculeata Müller, and others with bairdian outlines.” (Maddocks 1969b, p.113)
Anchistrocheles angulata is een mosselkreeftjessoort uit de familie van de Bythocyprididae.[1] De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1870 door Brady.
